Hogwarts becomes host

On the first day of the new semester, everyone got their new class schedule.

"Divination, nine o'clock, arithmetic divination, nine o'clock, this is not over yet - runes, nine o'clock!" Ron frowned and said. "Okay, Hermione, I know you're great, but no one's that great. How can you take three classes at the same time?"

Hermione's class schedule unexpectedly caused a small commotion, although Elaine didn't quite understand why Ron would notice Hermione's class schedule first instead of his own; but this also reminded Elaine, and she immediately put her own The class schedule is stored in the wristband.

"Don't be stupid, of course I can't take three classes at the same time." Hermione replied impatiently, "My class schedule is indeed a bit full, but what does that have to do with you? Ron, let me tell you, I was early Just arrange all this with Professor McGonagall."

"I just want to see when Elaine's Muggle Studies class is." Ron shrank his neck, "If we are free at that time, we can go to audit or something like that... to help support the appearance and courage..."

"Don't come and cause trouble for me." Elaine replied casually, "It's just a class, there's nothing to worry about. Are the students coming to class scarier than Bedell or the Dark Lord?"

"That's right." Hearing her say this, several classmates chuckled, and Harry was one of them. "But we are mainly curious─"

"Come if you want, but most of the elective courses conflict with each other. If you choose the Magical Creatures class, I'm afraid you won't be able to come to my place to observe."

"Then how do you go to class?" Lavender asked curiously, "You also have an elective course on magical animals."

"I've made arrangements, don't worry." Elaine replied calmly, "Also, if we don't go to the North Tower early, we won't be able to catch up with the divination class. It's quite far there...and you are also curious about the future, right?"

After hearing what Elaine said, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads to eliminate the bacon and toast on their plates, and hurried to class.

After spending nearly twenty minutes and climbing a lot of stairs, just when Elaine decided that the magic elevator must be introduced to Hogwarts next semester, they finally arrived at the Divination classroom.

In fact, it's not a classroom at all, but more like a cross between a loft and an old-fashioned teahouse.

There were at least twenty small round tables crowded into the room, each surrounded by Indian calico armchairs and bulging little cushions, everything lit by a dim crimson light. Because the surrounding lamps are covered with dark red lampshades.

The curtains were drawn, and it was depressingly warm in the classroom. Even though it was September, there was still a roaring fire in the fireplace. In addition to thin smoke, the flames also gave off a dull, greasy, and dizzy fragrance.

The walls were lined with shelves holding dusty feathers, candle stubs, worn playing cards, countless silver crystal balls and a host of tea sets.

Sybill Trelawney lives here... it is indeed a very suitable residence for a magician.

There were so many people taking the Divination elective, and the twenty small round tables were almost full. Everyone sat at the small tables in pairs, Hermione and Elaine, Harry and Ron, Lavender and Parvati, this was almost a standard. Matched.

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed at the superstition of wizards, but Elaine did not comment on this, because wizards are more exposed to mystery than Muggles, so they will believe in mysterious omens─and besides, those things are not necessarily fake. .

From the perspective of Defense Against the Dark Arts, the magic in a wizard's body will attract things that like magic. Similarly, wizards will also be attracted by things with magic. In contrast, even if Muggles without magic want to attract these monsters, Others also despise...

However, even if the omen is true, Professor Trelawney is still a magician.

After listening to the chirping of this thin woman with countless chains and beads hanging around her neck for half an hour, Elaine was almost asleep. The thick fragrant smoke was definitely the culprit. She suddenly remembered that inhaling too much smoke would cause harm. Causes carbon monoxide poisoning, and the symptoms are dizziness, weakness, and confusion.

Right, closing the windows and lighting a fire in the room is not a standard act of suicide?

...Is it too late to drop the class now?

***

"This is a rubbish course... I should have listened to you and dropped this course."

Hermione and Elaine wore invisibility cloaks together, carefully avoiding the crowd, and headed to the arithmetic and divination classroom.

The two of them used the time turner after leaving the divination classroom and returned to the time before they finished breakfast.

Hermione kept complaining to Elaine about the divination class just now, but Elaine didn't listen to her. Her expression was extra solemn... because she found that her connection with the live broadcast room was interrupted, and she could not mobilize the magic of the dimensional channel.

To be precise, the dimensional channel in her body seemed to have disappeared.

Just like when the magic ability was blocked by the soul family tree, Elaine is now completely unable to sense the magic power of the live broadcast room.

"The influence of time travel." "Adair, who has seen strong winds and waves, is not too panicked. "The dimensional passage should exist in a certain you at this point in time. I guess it's the one who hasn't used the converter... It doesn't matter, you can still use mine anyway. magic. 》

"...Aren't you afraid that the dimensional channel will disappear permanently?" 》

"Impossible, it has temporarily disappeared because of the chaos of time. You can think of yourself as...well, a radio station. It just cannot receive the signal temporarily. It is not something that can be removed so easily. 》

Elaine couldn't understand Adair's explanation. However, dimensional channels and time turners were not things that could be understood. Especially the time turner was an unsolvable problem in Harry Potter. These wizards had studied hundreds of For years, I haven't been able to figure out any clues.

The time used to turn back time was found from an ancient wizard's tomb under Stonehenge. Due to its age, it is impossible to investigate its origin.

...Anyway, as long as it works.

There is no solution if she continues to think about it, so Elaine has to settle down and take the arithmetic divination class first. Fortunately, this class does not require magic power, only the mind...

Or, a computer.

The so-called arithmetic divination refers to a kind of divination that uses numbers to explain a person's character and destiny, or to predict the future. It is also called "numerology".

Different from random guesses such as crystal balls, tea leaves or palmistry, arithmetic divination is based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations. It is based on Pythagoras who advocated that "the world is built on the power of numbers" philosophy and the Kabbalah tradition of Jewish mystical philosophy.

Basically, it converts letters into numbers, then converts images, sounds, colors, and finally even converts magic power. Anyway, the course of arithmetic divination believes that everything can be converted into numbers, and as long as the mystery of numbers is cracked, can know everything.

Well, Elaine probably understands why Hermione finds this subject more interesting than Divination.
